So a few things here.
She’s been removed from the website but that doesn’t mean she’s been binned. Smells like another sweep sweep moment from that lot as they hope it just goes away.
Interesting to read NBM’s comment regarding the word hun. Staggering.

ADD COMMENT
CELTIC have removed sports therapist Caitlin Brown from their website after her “F*** the Huns” Facebook post.
We exclusively revealed the
club had launched an investigation after the 24-year-old posted a snap holding the league cup after Sunday’s victory with Rangers.
She posted again after the original was taken down.
It read “F*** the Huns” beside a four-leaf clover and green heart emoji.
And now, the Hoops have removed Caitlin’s listing as an employee from their official site.
Previously, her picture was featured along with a short bio.
It’s unclear whether she has been removed from her position, and Celtic have not responded to requests for comment.
Following complaints, Facebook deleted the post as it breached their rules on “hate speech”.
But the pic was put on her page again, this time with a comment saying: “Since FB removed my post for saying F the Huns”.
She was previously listed on the club website
But her section has been removed
Her bosses at Celtic – where she has worked as a sports therapist with the women’s team for four years – confirmed they were investigating the posts.
Mum-of-one Brown later changed her name on Facebook before deleting the account yesterday.
Anti-bigotry campaigners have now urged Celtic to take part in an education project.
Dave Scott of Nil by Mouth said: ‘The term Hun is hotly contested with some regarding it as deeply sectarian and others seeing it as just a generic term of abuse.
“Context is always key. At the very least it’s a loaded term which is never used kindly and certainly isn’t in this instance.
“We have a Scottish Government backed workplace project which seeks to challenge attitudes and educate employees on these issues.
“Celtic have never taken part to it but given this incident it sounds like something the club should seriously consider.”
